Mike O'Connor, council
representative for the recrea-
tion, parks and community
centre board, reported that
violations of the liquor control
act had been discussed a4 a
special meeting.. All board
members were present, as
well as representatives from
the Zurich Minor Athletic
Association, Rec League
llockey and Balt, Zurich
Buckeyes, Zurich Oldtimers,
Zurich Figure Skating Club
and Hay Township Rec
Committee.
The use of alcohol in dress-
ing rooms after hockey
games and its presence in the
park during baseball season
were brought to the board's
attention. Liquor consump-
tion on public property is il-
legal and the board is respon-
sible to enforce this.
A sten. stating the board
adheres to all LLBO regula-
tions will be installed in the
arena to absolve the board
and the village of Zurich from
responsihlity if any violations
occur in the future.
"Sooner or later we had to
take a stand. We can't be dic-
tated to by a handful of peo-
ple who have been breaking
the law for years", Reeve
Don Van Patter remarked.
Two hour parking signs will
be installed on Goshen Street
and on Ilighway 84 in the cen-
tre of the village.
Council endorsed the
resolution originating with the
Exeter council proposing the
rovincial government be
petitioned to enact legislation
requiring the boardof educe -
ion to assume resonsiblity for

responsibility for non-
payment of education taxes.

An agreement was reached
with Mr. and Mrs. Harold
Deichert to instruct the road
superintendent to take
specific action as soon as
possible to alleviate the Water
problem the couple had com-
plained about when they ap-
peared before council at the
January 4 meeting. The north
and south catch basins will be
blocked, filled with stone and
the ends of the tiles capped. A
culvert will be installed at the
original location, and the
south inlet at the gateway
leading to the shed on the
west side of the road will be
blocked.
Dan Kennaley and John
Schwindt, representing the
Ausable-Bayfield Conserva-
tion Authority, put on a slide
presentation to explain the
Apthority's flood plain
managemen', water sampl-
ing' program (including con-
cerns regarding manure:
handling), erosion control
measures, tree planting and
windbreak programs, and the
many other areas where the
Authority and township
residents have mutual in-
terests in caring for the land.
Kennaley explained the
beneficial effects of the }fay
swamp, saying water corning
from Exeter via the Ausable
is bad; the quality of water
leaving the area after a lot of
harmful baceteria have been
filtered out in the swamp is
average for the watershed
area.
Kennaley also commended
the residents of Hay for mak-
ing better use of the tree -
planting program Than any
other municipality within the
Authority's jurisdiction. The
landowner docs the planting,

stock. If more than 1,000 trees
are involved, the Authority
will plant them at a charge of
$50. per thousand. Six-foot
maples, spruce and cedars
for windbreaks at a subsidiz-
ed cost of $3 per tree are also
available.
Steve Burns, representing
the Burns Ross consulting
firm, attended the meeting to
bring council up to date on the
water supply situation in Hay
and area.
Because many of those
dissatisfied with the quality of
water in the township are
seasonal residents, the
ministry of the environment
has given a low priority to
funding a new water supply
along highway 21, and says no
grant money is available.
In order to generate more
interest, the consulting firm
has prepared a questionnaire
to be sent to every ratepayer
on both sides of the -highway
from Grand Bend to
Drysdale, asking their opi-
nion on the quality, quantity,
need for a new water source
and additional comments.
The data will be collated
when the forms are returned
by March 1, giving council a
Netter indication of what
ratepayers want. A public
meeting to discuss the water
problem wjlt beheld in the
township hall on .iuty 19.
Burns warned that if work
is not begun by the end of
1983, the consulting. engineer's
report will no longer be valid.
The Environment Assess-
ment Act, now law, exempts
from its provisions projects
initiated before June 1980 on
which construction begins
before the end of this year. All
others must comply with the
new provisions of the Act,
which would mean going back
almost to square one with
preparation of a new report.
The lease with Mrs.
Anastasia Marten for the
waste disposal -site has been
signed for another two years
at the same rental of $150 per
annum.
Hay township council voted
to support the resolution
originating with the town bf
Exeter suggesting
municipalities withhold the
education portion of un-
collected taxes until they
receive the money.
The recreation committee
to serve the township for the
next three years will be Carol
Dietz, Bernie Denomme;
Elaine Datars. Bill Russell,
George Tiernan, and council
representatives John Elder
and Tony Bedard.
